How about the free kick against Frisch in the Goal square, it was a legit mark, kenty barely touched him, incredibly frustrating.

I couldn't work that one out

    While the number of free kicks always seem to even up by the end of the game.

    What is far important is WHERE THEY ARE PAID.  What I have seen is opposing teams get really easy free kicks in front of goal. That makes a huge difference. I have seen some shockers missed in our square, that hurts.  We often get them where they have little immediate scoring impact, like on the wing or half back.

    Genuinely one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.

    Wasn’t a comment on the umpiring, was a reply to another comment. Even so I agree that one was laughable. You know it is bad when the commentary team are talking about it a lot.

    I watched he replay today and rewound that 4 times trying to identify how that was possibly paid against Kent. Absolutely staggering, I seriously hope the club takes those 4 - 5 examples to the AFL and asks the question. 

    Nicholls has been one of the worst offenders against us for years now.

    The free against Kent in the goalsquare is the worst free kick I think I've ever seen.

    The one against Lever on Goldstein in Q1 is a close second - Lever has his eyes on the ball, turns briefly to see where Goldstein is but then looks back at the ball, and Goldstein proceeds to elbow him in the head. Putrid.

    I'd rather have herpes than have Nicholls umpire us again. At least with herpes you can inflict it on somebody who makes bad decisions.

    And as for frees that went unpaid, there was the blatant hold/push in the back on Petracca in the fourth. Insane.

    I think I was at the end of the third quarter just after the non-paid Fritsch mark commentators Jono Brown said "it's really not the umpires day", whereas Eddie said "I better not say anything, in case I same something" (along those lines anyway). Roosy was also frustrated, but he of course was biased.

    I felt the umpires screwed us over severely. It seemed to ease up in the final 10 min when the game was no longer in the balance.

    Love Johnno Brown. He's so into the Dees at the mo I wouldnt be surprised if we were his team as a kid. To Eddie saying that he said:

    "I'll say it for you..." thought he was gonna unload but reigned himself in.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
